If you thought you could only see him at Expo Asia, sign up now to meet Dr John McGlynn, CEO, Storage Vault live!

He's been called the  most interesting man in self storage. He's a pioneer that built a billion USD business  investing in real estate mostly through self storage. He runs his own business and is a legendary straight talker. He loves sharing secrets of the business and will answer ANY QUESTIONS. ANYTHING! New buildouts, how to use technology, new building materials - everything!

It will be a social with drinks and all your self storage friends. We're also inviting investors and real estate players from Hong Kong's Scottish community to as Dr McGlynn will impress them with what a great business self storage is. So come along, see old friends,  make new ones,  network (investment?) and  get all your questions answered!

Dr John McGlynn is a hugely successful commercial real estate developer and self storage operator who has parlayed his success into the world of film. In an entertaining evening, this rebellious globetrotter will explain the secrets of successful investing in Scotland through the lens of his businesses in commercial real estate, co-working spaces and self storage.

He breaks down the key elements of success and gives his unique take on where the future is headed. He doesn't hold back on government policy and the macro-economic environment as he continues to make big plays in Scotland.

He'll also explain how he moved into the world of film. He is co-executive producer of the ultra-Scottish film Glenrothan, starring Brian Cox and Alan Cumming, and appears in it in a cameo role. He was also executive producer of Blue Mountain State, which featured Alan Ritchson, now Jack Reacher, and had a cameo in that too.

This event is a joint event with Hong Kong St. Andrew's Society.
